Just a few scant hours ago, Marvel’s Netflix Luke Cage cast a key villain, and already the Hero For Hire has a major new ally to balance the scales. Simone Missick has been cast in the role of Marvel’s Misty Knight, a super-powered detective in her own right, and potentially our first link to Netflix’s Iron Fist series.

Deadline reported news of Missick’s casting, clarifying that the “Missy” described in casting calls as “a woman with a strong sense of justice” actually referred to Misty Knight. In the comics, Misty is noted as an exceptional NYPD detective who loses her arm to a bomb blast, and is granted a super-strong bionic replacement from Iron Man himself, Tony Stark.

Not only that, but the character goes on to found her own detective agency in “Nightwing Restorations” alongside the deadly Colleen Wing, and eventual finds herself romantically involved with Danny Rand, better known as Iron Fist. The character has also clashed with Steel Serpent in the comics, whose presence was foreshadowed in Netflix’s Daredevil series, and will likely play a role in Iron Fist.
